Future Water was proud to attend the Earthworks 2025 Conference, hosted by the British Geotechnical Society, bringing together leading minds in geotechnical engineering, sustainable construction, and earthworks innovation.
The event kicked off with a welcome reception at the Lapworth Museum of Geology, home to over 4.6 billion years of geological history. Our team was treated to a rare behind-the-scenes tour, where they explored extraordinary specimens, including one of the most well-preserved trilobite fossils ever discovered in the UK. This immersive experience set the tone for a conference focused on the intersection of science, engineering, and environmental stewardship.
The two-day conference featured a series of thought-provoking keynote presentations and technical talks:
- Day One Highlights:
- A keynote by Dr. John Perry, Independent Consulting Engineer, explored the evolution of earthworks design and construction.
- Sessions covered topics such as resilient and sustainable earthworks, modern design practices, and risk management through monitoring.
- Day Two Highlights:
- A keynote on Earth Dam Engineering: Past, Present, and Future.
- Talks focused on case histories, earthworks trials, specification and treatment techniques, and advances in plant and construction technologies.
Between sessions, Future Water had the opportunity to exhibit our latest work, showcasing how we’re pushing boundaries in sustainable infrastructure and water management. Our stand attracted interest from a wide range of industry professionals, allowing us to connect with like-minded organisations, share project stories, and explore potential collaborations.
This event was not only a chance to learn and reflect—it was a valuable platform for networking and knowledge exchange, reinforcing Future Water’s commitment to innovation and partnership in the geotechnical space.
